After Action Report
In a track meet, the Jazz edged the Rockets 129-122 in overtime. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
